March is coming to an end, so are the conventions and the
exhibitions.
It has been an exhausting month.
Preparation for the workshop, trips to Athens, reports,
interviews….
The highlight of March was of course our own convention in
Thessaloniki. I say “our own” because I feel like I am with my own family.
Great plenaries by Andrew Wright, Alec Williams, Marjorie Rosenberg
and last but not least… Ken Wilson.
It was a great honor to be mentioned in Marjorie’s plenary
and I am really grateful that my Facebook page on “trying out something new”
has got so much attention! It was just
an idea that came up while chatting with my dear friend Vicky Loras.
Again, as a roving reporter, I met some wonderful people
with great ideas, Juliana Dudas from Hungary who remembers the great ideas in
her talk, Dagmara Mathes-Sobocinska,
As for my team’s workshop, I would like to personally thank
Nikos Maragkos and Penelopi Tourtourea who believed in this project and worked
hard to make it happen. The number of our attendees was not as high as
expected, partly because we did not have the right exposure (I guess nobody
realized that this was the first time something like this was happening in
Greece) and secondly because teachers were afraid to get out of their comfort
zones and try out something new.
I am not afraid of my ideas and I know that there are
innovative people who will try them out and make the difference. #keeponmoving team thank you one more time.
The highlight of the evening was of course that I got to
spend two whole days with my best friend, my new sister Christina Chorianopoulou.
Thank you girl, you rock!
Will I make it next year? We will see….
